Minnesota day care hoax is fueled by MAGA psychosexual weirdness

The racism underlying MAGA's latest obsession is intertwined with misogyny


Nick Shirley really wants the world to know that he’s never had sex. The YouTuber who moved from “prank” videos to the more lucrative world of creating MAGA disinformation apparently believes that sexual inexperience is an armor against accusations that he’s a liar. “I’m a virgin. I don’t have sex with random girls. You’re not gonna catch me on those sexual allegation charges,” he rambled on “PBD Podcast,” insisting that he is “religious” and doesn’t “have any vices.”

It was an odd rant, and not just because he conflated consensual hook-ups with rape.


Shirley stands accused of lying for racist reasons, so his “but I’m a virgin” defense is irrational — at least on the surface.

But it makes more sense, in a psychosexual way, in light of the right’s long-standing fear and loathing of day cares.
The scandal Shirley is exploiting isn’t really about day cares.
If Shirley was only interested in building his hoax on that existing and very real case, he could have targeted anti-hunger charities for his fake sting. Instead, he went after day cares, which are only sites that were supposed to get assistance from the fraudsters but never received it.

These businesses were picked almost certainly because Shirley and his colleagues have tapped into the long-standing tendency of paranoid reactionaries to make day cares the subject of conspiracy theories. Along with birth control and abortion — whose providers are also smeared constantly with right-wing lies — day care is loathed on the right for allowing women to work instead of being financially dependent on a husband.

White women are implicitly accused of using immigrant labor as a cheat to avoid their god-given duty to quit work to stay home and raise babies.

Vice President JD Vance has been especially loud with his belief that day care is pushing women away from their supposedly inherent desire to be housewives.

as Tim Walz learned, when you find yourself by making ad hominem attacks against a twenty-three year old amateur journalist, you have already lost.

Calling out a criminal fraud isn't an ad hominem attack.

wierd, psychosexual, racist, misogynist, odd, irrational, etc. etc. it is the same tired list of ad hominem attacks that the left uses on everyone they disagree with.

It’s not an ad hominem when it’s accurate.

If you don’t like being called a misogynist, then don’t say misogynistic things, don’t treat women as nothing more than breeding vessels, and stop voting for policies designed to target and hurt women.

If you don’t want to be labeled weird, then stop lying about bills like this and using them as an excuse to obsess over kids and sex.

Nobody cares about your labels.

Whatever they’re called…maga, republicans, GOP, christians, orthodox, all religious denominations. You’ll never find a list as long and depraved as these psychosexual degenerates.

That is so weird !

They’re good at masking. Most sociopaths are.

The women aren’t fooled by their husbands. Women can be despicable people as well, or just willing to prostitute themselves to a man with some money.

Omg you have so little understanding of what words mean that you just react based on whether the word seems friendly. That’s why your worldview is simply “us good, them bad” and parroting the party line of the day. You actually can’t have any more complex thought than that.

Sounds about right >> the extra heaping of misogyny.

I'd say his vice was lying to sell sweatshirts. And also ruining innocent lives and wasting taxpayer $$ for his own gain.

So normal of MAGA to obsess and obsess and obsess about bathrooms and tampons. They never shut up about them. Thus proving the point.

Like it or not this lost you the election and you still won't dump it as a policy.

Waiter: how is everything? Enjoying the soup?

Guest: yes, thank you; it’s very good.

Waiter: so glad to hear that.

* waiter smiles, takes a pen out of his pocket, drops it in the guest’s soup *

Guest: hey, what the heck? You just put a pen in my soup! Why would you do that?

* Waiter smiles, takes out second pen, drops it in the soup *

Guest: what is this? Why do you keep sticking pens in my soup? Keep the pens in your pocket. This is really weird.

Waiter: sir, why are you so obsessed with pens? You can’t stop talking about pens! Enough with the pens!

Ok, so if they want all of us white women barefoot, constantly pregnant, and not working outside the home then what are they doing to lower costs of food, houses, and anything needed to survive???? Because it is expensive to raise kids and men are largely not able to cover all expenses on their own. And there are no mLm’s currently in trend. No Lularoe, Mary Kay, Skin care crap and most can hardly afford to travel. Are we all supposed to be broke, pregnant, jobless and being under constant subjugation of our white husbands?

Yeah no thank you! I make more than my husband.

That’s a bizarre analogy, and also 100% inaccurate. Nobody is dropping pens in your soup.

It’s more like the guest has spotted another diner across the restaurant using a pen to sign the bill, and now they’ve gone home and can’t stop talking to all their neighbors about how this restaurant is forcing everyone to have pens in their soup.

Whoosh!

NP, BTW.

1) Please point to the official national Democratic Party plank that mandates tampons in boys’ bathrooms.
2) “Oh no, this one specific blue state voted to make menstrual products available to students. My moral outrage at that is so great, I must vote for the Nazi-curious pedophile felon instead, and then go around in an incessant loop about tampons and bathrooms for the next ten years.” If this is the actual thought process of millions of MAGA voters, you’re really not making a good case for your normalcy here.

The actual thought process of millions of Latino voters was that Democrats want our children to be sexually confused, I have children and them growing up into functional adults with their own families is my #1 goal, therefore I will vote for the Republican. They might regret that now, but that was the thought process and the reason Trump won.
